Re: Viking ship
Once the dates are published, anyone possibly interested in day tripping to Mystic, CT to see it?
Celts and Vikings at Mystic
I've been following this closely ever since I first heard of it a week ago. I already plan to attend the talk being given at the seaport on the evening of 10/13. Here's the link to information about that:

I'm also very likely to make a daytime excursion to Mystic to see the dragon itself. However, since I'm not yet sure of the dates that she'll be in port I don't know exactly when that will be. Clearly if any of you are interested I would love to coordinate this with my celt brothers and sisters. Mystic is a just short easy hop up I-95 from the New London ferry terminal. If you promise to be nice I might even be willing to provide a shuttle service.

Re: Viking ship dates
This just in: For those that care, the viking ship Draken is scheduled to arrive at Mystic Seaport this Sunday, 10/2. It will be open for public tours for one week only (10/3 - 10/10). Unfortunately, I will not be available that week so I must retract my earlier offer to play native guide. I look forward to seeing everyone at Samhain.
Re: Viking ship Draken arrives
